    “It has been hurtful [and] disappointing to see so many people who claim to uphold this higher standard, who claim to be feminists, who claim to be pro-woman and yet will turn a blind eye to inappropriate behavior if it’s done by someone they really like,”

    For the millionth time: no political party is free of antisemitism—just as no party is free of homophobia—but only 1 political party is inciting white nationalists to kill Jews. Obscuring this fact makes it harder to protect Jews (& others!) from the mortal threat facing us all.
    “From all sides and in all fronts, there just seems to be an increasing shakiness of the ground in which American Jews are standing,” says .

    So now Trump is banning foreign journalists from coming to report on him using immigration laws to block their entry into the US. What a joke.
    Guys, I’ve been refused entry into US. Sections 212 (a) (7) (A) (i) (I). Me going to DC is “entry into the labor” market and I’d be “imported labor”. I’ve never been pulled aside at a US border let alone refused entry.

    Migrant children are transforming their trauma and perseverance into beautiful pieces of art that remind them of home while being caged in a country that treats them as criminals. When will the separation of families stop?

    David Koch was a villain. He and his brother worked consciously to further inequality and poverty with their greed and politicking. I won’t celebrate his death—but patronage of the arts, science, and medical research could never outweigh the damage he did.

    So many of us POC have felt we had to conform - To white-led institutions, practices, ways of showing up. Continuing to do so w/o questioning, making it work for us w/o concern for others, damages our psyche but also perpetuates white supremacy

    Sadly, this is true. 😢 Doesn’t even make any sense. Why vote no on such a crucial life or death topic for literally all human beings???
    The voting down a climate debate and Presidential candidate campaign staff actively fighting against it is why young ppl leave the Democratic Party.
